Information: GoshenCollege
owns two Videoconferencing units manufactured by Polycom. One unit is installed
in the Wyse 318 classroom, and one unit is on a portable television cart.
Both systems are capable of making and receiving videoconferencing calls over
the internet (Video over IP) but are not equipped to make video calls over
specialized telephone lines known as ISDN connections. Each unit can
connect up to 3 other sites at a time and can add a voice-only telephone
